Spite

Feels great every time you overcome the feeling, but the struggle before that is not pretty at all.

மதிதன்னை மிகத் தெளிவு செய்து - என்றும்
சந்தோஷங் கொண்டிருக்கச் செய்வாய்!

Getting back to the basics

Happy 59th Republic Day, India.

Had To Happen

Just when i was starting to feel happy by the thought of Federer taking on Djokovic in the Semis and Nadal in the Finals of the Australian Open, this had to happen! Federer, as much as he is talented, has been lucky enough to not play quality opponents in consecutive games of big tournaments. A fair bit of that has got to do with his opponents themselves(losing in early rounds), ofcourse. Nothing like a Sampras-Courier quarters, Sampras-Becker semis and a Sampras-Agassi finals or a Lendl-McEnroe quarters, Lendl-Connors semis and a Lendl-Wilander finals. Grrrrrrrr.

One To Rule Them All

It's very true that there cannot be two swords in one scabbard...one starts to acknowledge that more and more after being one of those two swords too often. Many is good; Single is even better; 2 is as wicked a number as it is a lovely number...

On a different note(seriously), i got the date of births of two of my old friends wrong this year...one i wished late, and the other i wished ahead of time. An old wise man once said that it is the thought that counts...i wonder if it's that simple. Before i forget, let me wish another old friend of mine Happy Birthday. பிறந்த நாள் நல்வாழ்த்துகள் பாரதி!

It's an old wide world...

Moment of Truth

What will be running through your mind at this very moment if you knew that an hour from now you'll either be too happy or too sad?

So much hype for nothing in the end. Turned out to be just another moment. No joy, no sorrow, only evasion...

The Best

The Man:
Age - 36
Retired - 5 years ago (and hasn't played any competitive tennis since)
Grand Slam Titles - 14
Wimbledon Titles - 7
Last Title Won - US Open, 2002
Name - Pete Sampras

His Opponent:
Age - 26
Retired - 2 years from now, probably :P
Grand Slam Titles - 12
Current Rank - 1
Last Title Won - Masters Series (less than a week ago)
Name - Roger Federer

Now, when these two men take on each other in a tennis court, you can expect even hardcore Sampras fans to think that Federer would beat Sampras 999 out of 1000 times. If it's a 3-match series, they can be excused for thinking that the odds of Sampras winning 1 set is about 1 in a hundred. Now, if you had told them that Sampras actually won 2 out of 6 sets, won one out of 3 matches, 3 out of the 6 sets were tie-breakers of which if Sampras had won all three, he would have also won the 3 match series 2-1, they'll tell you they knew he was capable of doing it :P
I believed that Sampras would win the third match after he lost the second one in 2 heart-breaking tie-breakers, and he did. Some people are so convinced about the invincibility of Federer that this will not change their opinion one bit....but for people like me who believe that Sampras is way better than Federer, well, it doesn't change our opinion one bit either.

Bow to the King, the only KING! B-)
